Hyundai introduced its performance sub-brand ‘N’ late last year. Now the idea behind the launch of this new brand is to develop performance-focussed technologies that can be put into production Hyundais in the near future. Looking to make further progress in this new undertaking, Hyundai has revealed a couple of high-performance concepts at the ongoing Busan Motor Show in South Korea.

Hyundai, in fact, has revealed the RM16 and the N 2025 Vision Gran Turismo, two projects that would eventually evolve into the brand’s first N model.

The RM16 is powered by a mid-mounted 2-litre, four-cylinder turbocharged engine that makes 295bhp. The car also features carbon fibre body panels and an adjustable rear wing. The concept is the result of Hyundai’s RN (Racing Mid-Ship) project which, in the past, has conceived the RM14 (shown at the 2014 Busan Motor Show) and the RM15 (shown at the Seoul Motor Show). The RM16, then, is the best of what Hyundai currently has in store. Besides it, Hyundai is also showcasing the new Elantra, Veloster, Tucson and the Santa Fe at the motor show.
